Dad Kills His Infant Daughter In God’s Name
An unrepentant dad has reportedly justified killing his infant daughter because it was God’s injunction to sacrifice her.
The father, identified as John Depuun, allegedly snatched his infant daughter from his wife and took her to a bush in Mbangur, Tse-Agberagba, Konshisha LGA, Benue state, on Tuesday November 20, where he killed her.

The father of the 9-month-old confessed to the crime saying he did as directed by God.
In his words:
“It is my sheep and I decided to sacrifice it to God as demanded of me. I have not laid my hands on anyone’s child and as such, should not be condemned.”
Family members have alleged that he is mentally unstable, but Depuun has dismissed such notion, and is now in police custody.
